Microplastics are ubiquitous in coastal sediments of Lake Ontario.
Microplastics in sediments are most concentrated in Toronto Harbour and Humber Bay.
Tributaries are transport pathways and depositional zones for microplastics.
Average microplastics abundance was ~ 760 particles per kg dry sediment.
